Definitions
- the present invention relates to an organic thin film transistor array panel and a manufacturing method thereof.
- An electric field effect transistor using an organic semiconductor has been studied as a driving device for the next generation display.
- Organic semiconductor materials may be classified into low molecule compounds and high molecule compounds.
- the low molecule compounds include oligothiophene, pentacene, phthalocyanine and C 6 O.
- the high molecule compounds include polythiophene and polythienylenevinylene.
- the organic thin film transistors based on the low molecular weight organic semiconductor materials show a high mobility in a range of about 0.05-1.5 cm 2 /Vs and superior on/off current ratio.
- the formation process of the low molecular weight semiconductors layer is a little bit complicated since the vacuum deposition processes are used. And as a consequence, the low molecular weight semiconductors have a demerit for mass production.
- the organic thin film transistors based on the high molecular weight semiconductor materials show rather a low mobility in a range of about 0.001-0.1 cm 2 /Vs even though they have a merit for the mass production due to their solution processibility, such as coating and inkjet printing process.
- organic semiconductor materials show good processibility or solution processibility as well as good TFT characteristics such as high mobility and on-off current ratio. And some semiconducting materials with good processibility and good electrical characteristics are developed for the top gate structure even though many are developed for the bottom gate structure.
- Organic thin film transistor shows photoleakage current when it is exposed to the light so the organic thin film transistor with a top gate structure cannot be applied to LCD display even though it has good properties because a backlight unit is used in LCD.
- An organic thin film transistor array panel which includes: a substrate; a data line formed on the substrate and including a source electrode; a drain electrode formed on the substrate and separated from the data line; an organic semiconductor disposed on the source electrode and the drain electrode; a gate insulator formed on the organic semiconductor; a gate line including a gate electrode disposed on the gate insulator; a passivation layer formed on the gate line and having a first contact hole on the drain electrode; and a pixel electrode connected to the drain electrode through the first contact hole.
- the organic thin film transistor array panel further includes an opaque light blocking member disposed under the organic semiconductor.
- the organic thin film transistor array panel may further include a bank having an opening that confines the organic semiconductor.
- the bank may have a second contact hole exposing the drain electrode together with the first contact hole.
- the gate insulator may be confined in the opening.
- the opaque light blocking member is formed on the substrate in alignment with the organic semiconductor.
- the organic thin film transistor array panel may further include an insulating layer disposed between the organic semiconductor and the light blocking member.
- the gate insulator may include at least one selected from the group consisting of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, maleimide-styrene, polyvinylphenol (PVP), and modified cyanoethyl pullulan (m-CEP).
- the gate insulator may include an organic material.
- the organic semiconductor may include at least one selected from the group consisting of: tetracene, pentacene, and derivatives thereof with substituent; oligothiophene including four to eight thiophenes connected at the positions 2, 5 of thiophene rings; perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA), naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTCDA), and imide derivatives thereof; metallized phthalocyanine and halogenated derivatives thereof; co-oligomer and co-polymer of thienylene and vinylene; regioregular polythiophene; perylene, coronene, and derivatives thereof with substituent; and aromatic and heteroaromatic ring of the above-described materials with at least one hydrocarbon chain having one to thirty carbon atoms.
- PTCDA perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride
- NTCDA naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydr
- the gate electrode may substantially fully cover the gate insulator.
- the organic thin film transistor array panel may further include: an insulating layer formed under the data line and the drain electrode; a color filter formed under the insulating layer; and the light blocking member being formed under the color filter and in alignment with the organic semiconductor.
- the thin film transistor array panel may further include a color filter formed under the passivation layer.
- a method for manufacturing an organic thin film transistor array panel includes: forming a light blocking member on a substrate; and forming a first insulating layer on the light blocking member forming a data line including a source electrode and a drain electrode on the first insulating layer; forming a partition having an opening partly exposing the source electrode and the drain electrode and a contact hole exposing the drain electrode; forming an organic semiconductor in the opening, the organic semiconductor being in alignment with the light blocking member; forming a gate insulator on the organic semiconductor; forming a passivation layer on the gate line; and forming a pixel electrode on the passivation layer.
- the formation of the organic semiconductor and the formation of the gate insulator may include inkjet printing.
- the partition may include organic insulating material.
- the method may further include: forming a second insulating layer on the first insulating layer, the first insulating layer being an organic insulating material and the second insulating layer being an inorganic insulating material.
- the method further include: forming a color filter under the data line and the drain electrode or under the passivation layer.
